AI-generated SaaS security checklist for vibe-coded apps.

Use this checklist before you launch a SaaS app built with AI coding tools. It covers the production risks GoForLaunch sees most often in Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, Supabase, Stripe and Next.js projects.

Short version

A vibe-coded app is not unsafe because AI helped build it. It becomes unsafe when demo-friendly code reaches production without server-side authorization, tenant isolation, secret handling, payment verification and operational controls. The checklist below turns those risks into a launch review.

01

Move auth and admin gates to the server

AI-generated apps often hide admin buttons in React while leaving the API route open. Every sensitive read, write and billing action should verify the user and workspace on the server.

02

Enable Supabase RLS before inviting users

Row Level Security should be enabled on tenant data tables, with policies scoped to the authenticated user or organization. A missing policy is one of the fastest ways to leak customer data.

03

Remove secrets from client bundles and git history

Look for Stripe live keys, Supabase service role keys, OpenAI keys, GitHub tokens, JWT secrets and webhook secrets. Public environment variables should never contain privileged credentials.

04

Verify Stripe webhooks and make them idempotent

A Stripe route should read the raw request body, verify the signature, reject replayed or duplicate events and resolve the purchased plan from Stripe line items instead of trusting metadata.

05

Scope every ID-based API route by owner

Any route shaped like /api/projects/[id], /api/invoices/[id] or /api/files/[id] should query by both the requested ID and the authenticated user or organization.

06

Rate-limit public and AI-backed endpoints

Generation, scan, upload and auth routes can become expensive quickly. Apply per-IP and per-account limits, then return a clear 429 when the limit is reached.

07

Constrain CORS and outbound URL fetching

Do not pair wildcard origins with credentials. For SSRF-prone features such as webhooks, runtime scans or URL imports, block private IP ranges and cloud metadata addresses.

08

Validate inputs at API boundaries

Forms generated by AI tools often trust the frontend. Validate request payloads with a shared schema and reject unexpected fields before writing to the database.

09

Ship boring launch-readiness basics

Add security headers, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, canonical metadata, a status page, privacy/security pages and an incident contact before a public launch.

How GoForLaunch helps

Turn the checklist into a repeatable scan.

GoForLaunch maps scanner findings to business risk: tenant data exposure, revenue risk, trust damage and launch blockers. The output is written for founders but detailed enough for engineers to review.

FAQ

What is a vibe-coded SaaS security checklist?

It is a launch checklist for SaaS apps built quickly with AI coding tools. It focuses on mistakes that look fine in a demo but become risky in production: missing server auth, weak tenant isolation, exposed secrets, unverified payments and expensive public endpoints.

Can Google and AI assistants understand this kind of page?

Yes. Clear textual content, internal links, canonical metadata and matching structured data make it easier for search engines and answer engines to understand and cite the page.

Does GoForLaunch replace a human security review?

No. GoForLaunch catches repeatable launch risks and explains fixes. Context-heavy architecture decisions still need human review, especially before regulated or enterprise deployments.
